Getting Started

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control sys-

tems available. The MX-350’s built-in library includes thousands of different

brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do

to setup the MX-350 is enter which brands and models you own. If you own

a component too new to be in the library, the MX-350 uses advanced learn-

ing technology to quickly set each MX-350 button, one at at time. Setting up

your MX-350 to replace all your existing remote controls can be done in a

few minutes. Basic Setup is described on pages 5 to 13.

The MX-350’s exciting advanced features automate and customize operation

in many ways. You could use Macro Setup to power on all of your compo-

nents and start the show with the press of one button! With the MX-350’s

unique Favorite Channel capability, you can tune in a channel with the

press of one button instead of entering the entire channel number. Any of

the button names on the display can be edited as you like. It is best to

delay any Advanced Setup (described on pages 14 to 36) until after you

finish Basic Setup.

Battery Installation

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing up the cover lock.

Insert four AAA batteries into the battery compartment as shown in the

diagram.

Selecting a New DEVICE Changes

All Button Commands Instantly

The MX-350 can operate ten different devices even though it is only one

remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the MAIN button, then press the TV

DEVICE button.

The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV. Now all of the buttons

change their function to operate a TV. Press the page buttons. Watch the

labels of the display buttons change with each press. There are eight pages

of display buttons already labeled for TV operation. To operate another

component (e.g., VCR, DVD etc.), press the MAIN button to return to the

MAIN menu. The MAIN menu displays five of your Devices on the

screen. Simply press one of the screen-labeled Device buttons to operate

another device. If you don’t see the device name you want, then use the

PAGE buttons to display the remaining five devices on page 2 of the

MAIN menu.

Basic Setup

You can start setting up your MX-350 using either the Pre-Programmed

Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the MX-350 are

setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than

the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method.

Pre-Programmed Method

Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test

codes by sending power off commands.

Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 38 - 59 and

write down the code numbers listed for your A/V component. The

code numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand.

See page 37 for a category list.

Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approxi-

mately three seconds. The top of the display will show “SETUP”.

You are in SETUP mode now.

Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If

you don’t press a button within that time, the MX-350 will time out and return to

normal operation.

Press the P-PRO button to select the Pre-Programmed Method.

The display changes so that you can select which Device button to

setup.

In this step you choose the name of the device you’d like to setup.

Use the cursor UP or DOWN buttons to change the flashing name.

When it is correct, press the SELECT button.

For Example: I wanted to setup the TV Device button first, so I pressed the

cursor UP or DOWN until “TV” was flashing in the display.

The bottom of the display will flash “FROM TABLE”.

In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate

with this device button. If the flashing name is correct, press

SELECT.

If the name flashing in the display is incorrect (for example, you are setting up

AUX to operate a Laser Disc Player), use the UP and DOWN buttons to

change the flashing name to the correct type of component.

Note: Each name that appears in the display may include several types of

components. For example, the DVD category includes DVD players and

Laser Disc Players. See page 37 for a list of component types each Code

Table contains.

Point the MX-350 at the component, then enter the first three digit

code number from your notes using the numbered buttons. After

you enter each three digit number, look at the component to see if

it turned off.

Continue to enter code numbers until the component powers off.

For Example: I have a Sony TV. I found the code numbers 070, 139,147,

126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV TABLE. Using the numbered

buttons on the MX-350, I entered 070 and looked at the TV. It didn’t turn off,

so I entered 139, then 147 and so on, until I found the code that powered

off the TV.

Note: If a component fails to turn off after you have entered all of the code

numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through the other brands in the

table using the UP and DOWN buttons (there is a chance that your

component was actually manufactured by another brand). However, most of

the code tables are so large it is usually faster to use the Learning Method on

Page 9.

When the component turns off, save the code number you entered

by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen.

Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times. When

the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating

mode.

Repeat steps one through nine for each of your devices. If you are

missing any commands, use the learning method, described next

Learning Method

The MX-350 can learn commands from your old remote controls one-but-

ton-at-a-time by following these simple steps:

Line-up the MX-350 with your old remote control, head-to-head,

one or two inches apart.

On the MX-350, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at

the same time for approximately three seconds. The top of the dis-

play will show “SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now.

Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If

you don’t press a button within that time, the MX-350 will time out and return to

normal operation.

Press the LEARN button.

The top of the screen will change to “LEARN”.

Press and hold the button you want on your old remote control until

the display changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”.

If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were successful.

Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep repeating steps 6

through 7 until you have learned all the buttons you want.

If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the display, try to teach the

same button in MX-350 once again by repeating steps 6-7.

Continue to teach any commands from any of your remote controls

by repeating steps 5-7 (to go back to step five, press MAIN once).

Once you completed teaching all the buttons, return to normal opera-

tion by pressing the MAIN button twice. Test all your new commands.

If any of them don’t work, try learning again using these notes:

Volume Control Punch Through

In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only con-

trolled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make

the sound, so you would use the TV device on the MX-350 to raise and

lower the volume. In another system, it might be a surround sound

receiver and speakers that control the sound, so you would use the

MX-350’s AUDIO device to adjust the volume. Constantly switching the

MX-350 to TV or AUDIO to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily

life.

You can use Punch Through to set the MX-350’s volume buttons to always

control the sound in your system. That way when the MX-350 is set to

VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute buttons will work perfect-

ly without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Here’s how:

Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for

three seconds. The top of the display show you are in SETUP mode

now.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time

out automatically.

Press the PAGE UP button to get to page 2 of the SETUP menu.

Press the PUNCH button.

Press the VOL button. The display confirms by displaying “VOL” at the

top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up,

Volume Down and Mute) in one action!

The bottom of the display flashes ”PUNCH TO”.

Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume

control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going

to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.

Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the POWER OFF

button at this time.

The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now

you select the device that has the volume commands you want

(i.e.,TV for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems with

surround sound receivers). The bottom of the

display will flash “SAVED”.

Repeat steps 3-5 until all your devices operate the volume perfect-

ly. Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operating

mode and test your Punch Through settings.

Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to

volume and can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find

yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group of con-

trols, consider using Punch Through for another group, as listed here:

VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute

CH -

Channel Up, Channel Down, Prev. Channel and Number buttons (0-9, +10, ENT)

You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP

buttons at the same time. To make the text appear lighter, press both the

MAIN and cursor DOWN buttons at the same time.

Transmitting (Busy Signal) Icon

When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in

the top right corner of the display. It is a useful aid when setting

up Macros and FAVs, since it flashes with every step of a

sequence of commands.

Advanced Operation

Setting Backlight Options

You can adjust the amount of time that the MX-350 backlight stays on by

entering the SETUP mode and proceeding to page two (using the PAGE

UP button), then pressing the LIGHT button on the display (not the

Backlight button). Then enter the amount of time you would like the

light to stay on using the number pad (0-99 seconds). After making your

selection, press the SAVE button.

If you don’t want backlighting at all (this extends battery life), press the ON

button that appears on the screen. The ON will change to OFF. Press the

SAVE button. Exit the setup mode by pressing the MAIN button.

The FAV Button

When you press the FAV button, the display changes to a list of your

favorite TV channels. Each button can be set to instantly select the channel

on your TV. There are eight pages of five favorite channel buttons for a total

of 40. Simply touch the PAGE buttons to display the other favorite chan-

nels. To return to the last device you viewed, press MAIN once (a second

press will take you to the MAIN menu).

To setup your Favorite Channel buttons go to page 21.

Macro Button Setup

Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound

receiver by pressing a single button on your MX-350! What would nor-

mally take three remotes and three button pushes, the MX-350 can

accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”. Any

of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off buttons (on any

Device or Page) can be set to be Macro buttons!

To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps:

Enter the SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and

ENT for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time

out automatically.

Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show

“MACRO”. The bottom of the display will flash “SELECT”.

Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a button you would

like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE but-

tons.

Advanced Options:

If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, press the

Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can

navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4.

Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the but-

ton is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the

macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the but-

ton before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal

press of the DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the

macro.

Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the

screen will display the label of the button you selected. At the bot-

tom of the screen it displays “STEP0”, indicating that no macro

steps have been entered yet.

When you are finished editing the button, press the button you

edited and “SAVED” will flash at the bottom of the display.

To change any other button labels on the same device, press the next

button, then repeat steps 6-8. If you wish to edit a button on another

device, press the MAIN button once, then repeat Steps 4-8.

Once you’ve finished editing buttons, press the MAIN button four

times to return to normal operation.

Edit the MAIN Menu Title or a MAIN Menu Device Label

You can change the title of the MAIN Menu or a MAIN Menu device

label by following these steps after you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode

(described in the steps one through four in the preceding pages).

Once you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode, the top of the screen displays

EDIT and the first five devices of the MAIN Menu. There are five

pages you can access via the Page UP or DOWN buttons.

When the

top of the screen says EDIT, pressing a device button jumps to the pages for

that device so that you can edit a device’s LCD buttons normally. However,

if you continue to tap the Page button, the top of the screen will change

from EDIT to MAIN. While it says MAIN, there are three pages of LCD but-

tons. The first two list the Devices of the MAIN Menu and enable you to

change the device names when pressed. The third page titled MAIN has only

one entry for the LCD buttons; “MAIN”. When you press the corresponding

hard button, you can relable the MAIN title itself.

Select the title to edit by pressing the adjacent hard button.

Edit the text (described on steps 5 and 6 on page 17).

Press the button you edited to save the changes. Here’s an example:

Favorite Channel Setup

Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a

channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel but-

tons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy. To

setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps:

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT

for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time

out automatically.

Press the FAV display button.

The top of the display will show “FAV”. The bottom of the display

will flash “SELECT”.

Use the Page buttons until you can see the name (i.e., ABC, CBS,

NBC) of the favorite channel you wish to setup.

Press the favorite channel button you wish to setup. The top of the

screen changes to show the channel name. The bottom of the

screen displays “STEP0”, indicating that you have not entered the

channel number yet.

Press either the TV, SAT or CABLE Device button (select the device you

use to enter channel numbers).

Press each of the number buttons for the channel.

Note: Some brands of television require an ENT(Enter) command after the

channel numbers.

Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your

macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Then press the

button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed,

another Macro step is counted and displayed at the bottom of the

screen.

Don’t worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can

store up to 190 steps, so you are not likely to run out of steps!

Note: You can program delays in between commands by pressing the

PAUSE button. Each press adds half a second to the delay.

Press the LIGHT button to end your macro. A new screen displays

three choices:

Hiding and Adding Pages

Each of your MX-350 Devices contains up to eight pages (if a page has no

IR data, it will be HIDDEN). However, you can HIDE any page from the

users view. A hidden page still appears in SETUP modes, so can be used

in macros. If you change your mind and would like the user to see a

hidden page, you can ADD them. You can add or hide pages on devices,

or on your favorite channel pages using this simple process:

Note: Be sure to program your Macros before you hide pages with a poten-

tial macro step in them. You can’t access hidden pages during macro setup.

However, after you finish Macro setup, you can hide pages without affect-

ing operation of your macros.

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT

for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time out

automatically.

Press the EDIT button.

Press the PAGE button.

“PAGE” appears at the top of the screen.

Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel (for example,channel

“33” or “522”) it is usually best to set a half second delay in between the

identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE

button increases the delay by a half second.

Press the LIGHT button after you enter the

channel number. A new screen appears:

To save the channel you entered, press the SAVE button. The

Utilizing Optional RF Base Stations

You can use the MX-350 as you would your other remote controls. It trans-

mits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands

(invisible to the naked eye). When you point the MX-350 at the components,

expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not

pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary

(depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc.).

However, the MX-350 also sends radio signals in every direction. By pur-

chasing the MRF-100 or the addressable MRF-250 or MRF-350 base sta-

tions, you can operate your equipment with the MX-350 50 to 100 feet away

(through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the RF Base

Station picks up the MX-350's radio signals from any direction, regardless of

distance, the MX-350 doesn’t have to be pointed!

Using MRF-250 or MRF-350 Addressable Base Stations

By installing an MRF-250 or MRF-350 base station you gain freedom from

interference from a nearby room, house or condo where someone else

might be using an RF remote control. Addressable base stations are

assigned one of 15 unique ID#’s. This allows multiple equipment loca-

tions in one house to be controlled by any MX-350. In operation it’s simple:

when you select a device located in the Den, the MX-350 only talks to the

base station in the Den. When you select a device located in the Family

Room, the MX-350 only talks to it!

When used with an MRF-250 or MRF-350 base station, the MX-350 can be

programmed to control identical components, for example, a media room

array of TV’s . The intelligent routing of the MRF-250 or the MRF-350 base

station will send your commands only to the TV you want to control. The

other identical TV’s will not receive commands. Of course, if your system

utilizes identical satellite receivers, cable boxes, VCR’s or disc changers

you can utilize IR routing just as easily for them. If you have more than six

identical components, up to 15 addressable MRF-250’s or MRF-350’s can

be installed to control them (thus allowing up to 90 identical components

in one house).

Note: The MX-350's radio signals will not control components directly.

Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot

be operated by the MX-350 unless the component can be switched to standard

The MX-350 Universal Remote Control, Inc.

The RF Base Station converts radio signals to stan-

dard infrared commands and sends them out via a

built-in front blaster to components in the same

cabinet space.

The MX-350 sends radio signal to

the MRF-100, MRF-250 or the

MRF-350 RF Base Stations.

Self-adhesive “flashers” (included with the MRF-250 or the

MRF-350) affix to the front panels of your components. The

flashers relay infrared commands to components out-of-sight of

the front blaster. The flashers plug into the rear flasher line out-

put jacks. Each flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach compo-

nents on nearby shelves.

Press the RF button.

The RF Settings Menu appears. See the notes on the following

pages for more info on each option. Make your selection by press-

IR/RF Signal Setting

You can set the signal to be IR line-of-sight only, RF only or IR and RF

simultaneously. Additionally, you can set the signal the same way for ALL

ten of your devices OR you can set the signal differently for each device

(the plasma TV could be set to be IR line-of-sight only, while the DVD

player and the Satellite receiver are set to be RF only). A good reason to set

the signal to RF only is to prevent too much IR being sent to a sensitive

component from two arrivals at the front panel (one directly from the

MX-350, one from the RF base station). A good reason to set the signal to IR

only is that another room has an MRF-100 base station (no RF address) so

it will receive commands from the MX-350 unless it is set to IR only.

RF Settings Overview

The MX-350 is factory set to work out of the box with an MRF-100 base sta-

tion, which is not addressable. The only setting that affects operation with

an MRF-100 is the RF/IR setting (to operate, the MX-350 must be set to IR/RF

or RF- it will not operate the MRF-100 in IR mode). The MX-350 will operate

with an MRF-250 or MRF-350 base station set to ID#0 with the factory

default settings. However, in order to gain the advantages of addressable

base stations (no interference between systems within one house or a

condo development with potential interference between two different con-

dos, turning the front blaster on or off, or routing identical commands to a

stack of identical televisions or satellite receivers etc.) you must reset the

MX-350 and the Base Station ID# to any address other than ID#0. ID#0 is an

“open door” to any RF signal, it is not a true address. It is extremely useful

for testing whether any interference is present, since the base station’s STA-

TUS LED will flicker if interference is present. Once the base station is

moved to a location where the LED does not flicker, the ID# can be

changed to one of the other addresses.

Note that ID#0 does not allow any emitter or blaster configuration. Before

changing any emitter or blaster settings, you must reset the ID# to an

address other than 0. Here are the factory default RF settings of the MX-350:

IR/RF (Type of Signal) - All devices are factory set to send both an IR line of

sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.

ID# (Base Station Address) - All devices are factory set with ID #0.

EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) - All devices are factory set to output IR com-

mands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.

BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) - The blaster is factory set to be on.

Changing the RF Settings

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT

for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the MX-350 will time

out automatically.

When you are installing a system within 100 feet of another equipment

location in the same home OR near a home, condo, yacht or motor

home that might potentially have an RF remote control of any kind, it is

recommended that you use an addressable base station and set the

address as described here.

You can operate up to 15 different equipment locations, each with an

MRF-250 or MRF-350 assigned a unique Receiver ID#. You program

each or all of your MX-350 devices to the appropriate equipment location

by assigning the corresponding ID# in the RF Settings Menus.

From the RF Settings Menu, select ID#.

Decide whether you are changing the ID# for all devices or just one

of the devices of the MX-350.

Select ALL to change the ID# for ALL devices

in the MX-350. Then, go to Step 4.

BLAST - Setting the Front Panel Blaster On or Off

The MRF-250 and MRF-350 Base Stations have a configurable

front panel high power IR LED or “blaster” for controlling compo-

nents in the same cabinet space without emitters attached to their

front panel. The front panel blaster can overpower or saturate the

sensors of some A/V components, so if intermittent operation

occurs, the blaster should be turned off.

The blaster is incompatible with a stack of identical components,

since all components will receive IR commands at once, no mat-

ter what device is selected. Turn off the front panel blaster by fol-

lowing the steps described on the next page:

Select the new setting by pressing the desired button, then press SAVE

to save your new setting and return to the RF settings menu.

EMITT - Setting IR Emitter Outputs

The MRF-250 and MRF-350 Base Stations enable you to route or

steer the IR commands from any Device to any or all of the IR

Line Outputs. This allows you to control identical devices using

the exact same IR commands (such as an array of television sets

in a media room or a stack of identical satellite receivers installed

in a central location with one satellite receiver dedicated to each

room with a television). Each button push (or macro step) is rout-

ed to the specific IR Line Output you’ve assigned to a device. In

the factory set default settings, the MX-350 is set to route IR com-

mands from any device to ALL IR Line Outputs simultaneously. To

change the MX-350 default settings follow these steps:

From the RF Settings Menu, select EMITT.

Decide whether you are changing the Emitter settings for all devices

or just one of the devices of the MX-350.

Select ALL to change the Emitter settings to

Pre-Programmed Code Tables

The MX-350’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR,

AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of components. For

example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units.

Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand

(Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three

digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct row and refer to it while

you setup (step-by-step instructions for using Pre-Programmed codes are

found on page 5).
